There are so many good stories not yet filmed [ even though remakes are constantly appearing ] I was wondering what book i would like to see in cinema and what suggestions you might have. I think I might like The Children of the New Forest by Frederick Marryat or a start on the Chronicles of Pern by Anne McAffrey.
Though I don't agree with many of Robert Heinlein's ideas, he was an author who was very influential on me as a young lad. I'd like to see well done film versions of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress) and Stranger in a Strange Land (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land). I also think Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_trilogy) could be made into some excellent films.

Would love to see The White Dragon on the big screen. I really enjoyed her books about Pern.
I'd like to see Jack Vance's Cugel on screen, someone here described the books as a hoot, that's how I remember them.
Game of Thrones' Bronn might make a good Cugel.
Something by Alastair Reynolds maybe.

Alastair Reynolds would just about be doable now.
